“It is. That’s why we need to pass a law. And we should do it,” Feinstein said.

Feinstein released a statement earlier on Tuesday expressing her support for DACA recipients.

“Congressional action is now the only way to guarantee that DACA recipients are shielded from deportation, and it must be our top priority,” Feinstein said. “The DREAM Act — introduced by Senators Graham and Durbin to provide a path to citizenship for DACA recipients — deserves a vote as soon as possible.”

“To DACA youth across the country, I say this is not over,” she added. “I stand with you and your families. You are valued. Our country needs you. And I won’t stop fighting to protect you.”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Tuesday DACA would end under the Trump administration in six months, allowing Congress time to pass legislation.

Former President Barack Obama established DACA through an executive order in 2012, protecting approximately 800,000 illegal immigrants ages 15-36 who arrived in the United States as minors from deportation.
